STERCKX: A FAMILY BUSINESS
SINCE 1967
THIRD GENERATION
Enthusiasm, common sense and a down-to-earth mindset. That is the best description for the Sterckx employees.
QUALITY THANKS TO A DYNAMIC APPROACH
Quality
We never make concessions in terms of quality. Not in the purchase of raw materials, not during the production process and not in the follow-up of the customer. In all that we do, quality is key.
Flexibility
We make every effort to meet the expectations of our customers. With flexible people and materials, we build custom-made solutions: we deliver at the time of your choice, transport at the desired temperature and unload in accordance with the customer’s wishes.
Sustainability
Sustainability is key to us. In that respect, our focus lies mainly on environmental care. That is why we are proud to have received the West Flanders Environmental Charter many times.
Sterckx built a wind turbine on its site and installed solar panels. This green energy is used in its own production process.
